MTV News' list claims the pair are a success as they are "not only two wonderfully giving people on their own, they also make up one of the most refreshingly sexual — and also, refreshingly adult — relationships on television."

It added: "Their passion comes from genuine, mature love, and we love them (and Starz!) for it."

Jamie and Claire were in good company on the list, topping the list ahead of The Walking Dead's Maggie Greene and Glenn Rhee, Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt and Stefan Salvatore and Caroline Forbes from The Vampire Diaries.
